Testimonials
It is hard to find the words to explain the healing and opening I experienced being with Aea and receiving her guidance on retreat in magical Kauai. My heart is now leading me, my voice is reflecting my heart’s desires, and my mind is finding the rest it has so deeply needed. It feels as if I have been tuned up and I’m now in alignment. A deep, deep bow of gratitude to the gifts Aea brings to this world. Wow.

Life gets so busy in serving other people that it may become easy to get lost in the process and not even be aware that “Me” time is needed. The opportunity presented itself to attend Aea’s voice activation womens retreat and I knew that it was time to put myself first and make me, a priority. That one decision became a life-changing decision. The women’s retreat was so liberating on so many levels. The voice activation, literally writing a song turned out to be a precious gift that I get to carry with me every day even after the retreat.
The healing of activating “My Voice” started with a song and has continued in my life as “My Voice Matters” and that is the gift I keep giving to myself daily. The teachings, the music, yoga, food and the open hearted sisterhood is something I will never forget and continue to carry with me.
Aea has been preparing herself for many years. Her experience and wisdom come from such a deep, honest and vulnerable state, that spirit can speak through her, strait to your soul. The safe and beautiful container that she holds makes it easy to open up and become free of what no longer serves.
If you have the opportunity to attend a voice activation woman’s retreat with Aea Luz, take the time, put forth the effort, and put yourself first! You will come back revived, rejuvenated and ready to speak your truths, in a loving honoring way.
Thank you Aea Luz , I carry so much of you with me.

Attending the women's retreat was truly a transformative experience. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the energy of bliss, wellness, beauty, and creativity flowing through the space. The activities offered were diverse and impactful, allowing me to truly embody these qualities that were already within me.
The voice activation exercises helped me to find my true voice and speak my truth with confidence. The somatic practices, including yoga and dance, allowed me to connect with my body in a way I never had before, leading to a newfound sense of strength and grace.
The energy healing sessions, which included acupuncture, chi gong, body work, and sound healing, were incredibly powerful. I felt a deep sense of relaxation and healing as my energy was balanced and restored.
Overall, this retreat was a truly holistic experience that nourished my mind, body, and soul. I left feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and ready to step into my power. I am so grateful for the opportunity to attend and would highly recommend it to any woman looking to connect with her true essence and unleash her full potential. Thank you for creating such a beautiful and transformative experience!

Aea is a treasure. Not only a gifted and inspiring vocal artist and songwriter… she is an amazing facilitator and guide! I participated in her voice activation retreat in Hawaii – and much to my surprise I wrote a song. Aea showed us the way to play and have fun with our voices – getting past inhibition and fear of not being able to sing – and to trust our voices, to enjoy the process, to find our source. And yoga and dance with Shaina was a fabulous complement to the whole experience. I can’t wait for more!

Shaina: Yoga and Dance
I was on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds in my early 20s when my path led me to live in an Ashram with intensive yoga & meditation for 12 hours a day. It was revolutionary - I found my energy, my joy, I didn’t need medication!
Despite my dedication to practicing and teaching yoga for the next 7 years, I continued in cycles of workaholism, burnout, and depression - still trying to achieve some external standard of success.
This led me to work with plant medicine 10 years ago and a deeper healing began on the soul level. I was no longer running from my depression. I learned to accept and integrate all parts of myself and my gifts began to activate.
This healing path led me to study Shamanism, women’s spirituality, and energy body work. It led me to found a company of plant-based products for women’s cycles. And it inspired me to facilitate women’s workshops, women’s ceremonies, and women’s coaching for 5 years.
Yoga was the doorway into healing for me. Practicing and teaching yoga has been a cornerstone of my life for the past 15 years. Over this time, I have integrated my intensive ashtanga training with fluid movements that support the female body - weaving a unique practice that opens the channels, cultivates energy, and creates a loving relationship with our bodies. It is an honor to share these practices with you.
